AMD A10-6800K Richland Overclocked Review

AIDA64

AIDA64 is a benchmark suite containing a plethora of tests for the whole system. For our needs we singled out the tests that represent the performance of the CPU and the memory.

CPU

The 6800K was the winner of this test on stock settings so there's no surprise that it's won again now overclocked. We can see that the i3 is still just ahead with the CPU Queen test, but otherwise the overclocked APU took the crown.

Memory

In the memory tests we see that the speedy RAM used in this system has helped lessen the gap between the i3 and its competition. Our overclocked system is ahead of the stock and 5800K systems, but aside from the Copy benchmark the i3's still the winner with its better memory controller.

Something that is easily noticeable is games with high res textures don't see a large boost in performance(10-15%), While older games with less complicated textures are seeing massive 30-50% increases. I am inclined to believe with the evidence shown that there is too much Space + Time between the CPU and Ram. Kaveri just got a lot more exciting xD

Glad the OC + Stock reviews ended up happening in this matter, It really shows how big of a hit you are taking when you do not overclock.Quote
